More people have watched Taylor Swift videos than TV shows

If you’ve watched Taylor Swift’s “Bad Blood” video a few times, you’re not alone.

A new Nielsen ratings study found that more people watched Taylor Swift videos during “Bad Blood’s”premiere week than almost every television show that aired during those same 7 days. 18 million Swifties in the U.S. tuned in to watch “Bad Blood,” while the only TV show to snag more viewers than Swift videos was NCIS: Los Angeles.

Whoa. Those are some pretty impressive stats. We get it, though. With its star-studded cast and action movie vibe, “Bad Blood” was EPIC.

Since its release last May, the video featuring Kendrick Lamar has accumulated nearly 835 million views. NBD, almost a billion.

The study basically confirms what we already knew: music videos are crazy popular. Other artists who rack up massive numbers of views are Drake (“Hotline Bling,” anyone?) and Rihanna.
